As per PC World, Desktop Linux gains market share of more than 1 percent.
After dipping to 0.97 percent in July, Linux rose to 1.07 percent in August, 1.11 percent in September, 1.19 percent in October, and 1.31 percent in November, Net Applications reports, followed by the new high of 1.41 percent last month.
W3Counter, for instance, puts non-Android Linux at 1.64 percent in December.
Wikimedia’s Traffic Analysis Report for last October pegged Linux at 3.48 percent, while news site The H-online which also reported on the new Net Applications data–noted that Linux users now account for 25.36 percent of its own traffic.
Our own stats shows 34 percent of users coming to Cityblogger are using Linux. I am glad people are finally realising the benefits of Linux on the Desktop.
Good article Prakash, but dare I ask: Why the kernel fixation?
I believe need to get beyond this terminology if we want Ubuntu (and freedom) to go mainstream. Exhibit A: Android. No mention of a kernel there. (Even though it’s a “Robot that pretends to be free”.)
